Cassowary Coast Regional Council welcomed the region’s first female Mayor Teresa Millwood and nominated its Deputy Mayor Nicholas Pervan at the post-election meeting held in Innisfail.
Alongside the declaration of office for Mayor Millwood were new Councillors Peter Reed (Division one) and Ellen Jessop (Division two), as well as returning Councillors Trudy Tschui (Division three), Nicholas Pervan (Division four), Jeff Baines (Division five) and Renee McLeod (Division six).
Mayor Millwood congratulated her fellow Councillors on their appointments and said she’s looking forward to working with Council to deliver priorities for the community.
“We need to get back to essential services and provide value for money so that our community is satisfied that they’re receiving the services they’re paying for,” Mayor Millwood said.
“I’m committed to providing honest and reliable representation for the Cassowary Coast and will be available to anyone who wants to discuss their ideas and aspirations for our future.”
